The most desporate piece of coolness we havo heard of was that a young gcntlcmon in Wisconsin, whose leg was recently amputated. While the leg was being taken o!f, he cooty asked for a chew of tobacco, and inquired tbo price of a cork leg. Down and Up. In ths year 1819, a young man, who was rich, and engngod in a lucrative business in Cincinnati, became enamored of a beautiful and amiable girl 'the daughter by tho way, of wealthy paronts and, after a brief courtship, married her, IIo loved her dearly. Site loved him deaily. A fortuno of happiness seemed in store for them; but evil daysiame, and after brief but violent struggle with fortune tho young man became bankrupt. He was left without a dollar, but not without a hope. The gold mines of California were open to the adventurous and to the industrious. He would leave his beautiful wile and seek its glittering shores, where he Would rotnain until his fullon fortunes wcro revived. The resolution once taken was soon exocutcd. He came to California but the cloud still hung over him. He was active, enterprising and persevering; yet while others around him were gathering the golden harvest in abundance, his every project failed. For eight years he con'inued thus. He became sick, weary and disheartened, but Lis pride would not allow him to write home for assm-tanao. Ho was at last reduced to sell newspapers upon tho street for a living. A few weeks ago ho was at Folsom street wharf, upon the arrival of tho mail atoamer, and among the passengers who came ashore, he caught a glimpse of a richly dressed lady whom ho thought he knew. He followed her to a hotel, got a fair view, and recognized her as his wife whom he had not seen for eight years. Ho was poorly dressed, but his affection conquered his prido, and ho immediately made himself known to hoi. The recognition was followed by a beautiful exhibition of unabated and unfaltering love. The lady's parents had died, leaving her an hcir- essof great wealth. She, had not beard of her husband for eight years, and, fearing for his safety, she resolved to visit this State and make inquiries for herself. The lady closed her conversation with her husband by putting her arms about his neck, and saying, 'Kow, dear George, we can go homo and be happy as we used to be." They did go home on tho steamer wlueli left here last Monday. This story is strictly true. Clioi nia Spirit of the Times. ' What a Fin can do, Some time ago an argument was started against the great Leviathan, now being finish ed at the London docks, that it would bo useless as a carrier of freight, on account of the enormous tonnage she would require, which could not be ga thcred in any port in timo to render her voyage regularand frequent., This set an English mathematician to work to show what a pin could do in the , way of freight. Ho made known the result of his cal culation, which proved that by dropping ono pin in the Leviathan to-day, two to-morrow, four next day. and 0 on for ono year, the aggregate would sink that monster to the hot. torn of the ocean. Mr. A. Brenomon, of Lancaster, Fa., seeing tho statement, took pains to work it out, and the following is the result of his labor: Allowing 200 pins to tho ounce, 1 pin the first day, 2 the second, 4 tho third, and so on doubling for 3G5 days, or one year, would give 876,970,507,370,400 pins which, at 200 per ounce, would amount to 4.364,832,- 836, 852 ounces, or 274,053,302,203 pounds and 4 ounces; and allowing 2,000 lb?, to the ton, would 137,62G,651 tons, 303 lbs. and 4 ounces. Only think tho onormons weight from the pin! Enough to sink not only the great Leviathan, but the whole British Navy. It is a neat little question for boys to look at and calculate ho wmuch they would bo worth, suppose they save in forty years, by laying up one penny the first week, two the second, four tho third, and so on. It is calculated to instruct them in how great fortunes are mado- So says an exchange. Difference in Wives. Two weekssinco we wero riding in IhocarSi when a gentleman came and spoko to a lady directly in front of us, who was seated beside a sickly man, whom we tho't was her husband. The conversation turned upon the health of her companion who was evidently a consumptive. . ' "Last winter," said she, "I went to Kansas with him. The winter before we spent in Florida; and now we are thinking of removing to Wisconsin or Minnesota, for the benefit ol his health." The gentleman oppressed some thoughts relative to her hardships in thus going away from hor home and friends, and traveling so much abroad. , ' ' - "Oh," she replied, "I do not mind that at all; if he can only regain his hcaltn. I like New England better than any other part of the country, lor it is home; but I am willing to live acywhero for his sake." . . Her husband made no reply as he hoard these words, but volumes were in his eyes. The incident, however, did not particularly impress us, until wo stopped at a station about a half hour afterwards. Then a friend entered the car and took a seat by our Bide. Ho was troubled witha bronchial and lung difficulty, of some years standing. In the course of conversation wo recommended a residenco in acortain western State, to which ho replied, in substnnce:. '-I should have been thero three months ago, if my wife had been willing to go. But all her friends are in Ibis State, and no consideration could induce her to leave for a residence so far away." We looked at onco to the strange woman, whose conversation we citod. "Noble wife," we raid; "One of a thousand, doubtless in this spirit of self-denial (or her husband's sake." There is certainly a great Uiuerer.ee between those two wives, From the Albany Knickerbocker Nov. 13th. An Albanian with the Camanches-IIis Captnre, Detention and Escape. We montioncd yesterday that Nelson cc, who was taken by the Camanche Indians in lfi50,reachod Albany on Thursday. In Marcln 1850, Mr Leo started from Texas for California with a drcvo of mules. Mr. Leo was accompanied by twenty-seven white men. About threo hundred miles from Englo Pass, on tho 2nd of April; 1850, tho little party from Texas was attacked by twohundred and fifty Camancho Indians. This Battle lasted for some two hours, and resulted in tho victory of tho Indians. Of tho 28 whito men 24 wero killed during the engagement. The other four wero takeri prisioners and carried to the camp of tho Camanchcs, Tho names of tho four prisioners wero William Aiken, of Now Orleans; Thomas Smith, of West Tennessee; James Howard, of Patrichio, Texas; and Nelson Leo, now in Albany, and formally of Jefferson county1, Two of the prisonors Smith and Howard were massacred tho day altor the battle, Aiken remained in the camp some six days, and was then carried off by Indians. What has become of hiin no one knows. . Ho has probably been killed during some war danojs. Lee's life was spared bo-causo the Indians could not manago aropcat-ing-walch which he carried. The watch saved his life. -,.. In the Camachc camp Mr. Lee found no less than 28 captured whito women and some 30 or 40 white children. A day or two after he arrived in camp they massacred an English woman, named Ann Haskin.in a most cruol manner. They tied her naked to tho tree, and in the presence of her two daughters, Margaret and Harriet Haskin, inflicted tho most uvolting cruelties upon her. Before Mrs. Haskin was finally dispatched, she was tortured for nearly half a day, during which timo tho Indians becamo excited with liquor and danced about her like so many demons. They took sharp pieces of flint and cut her flesh in all possible directions, Mrs. Haskin and her daughters were captured while on their way to tho Mormon settlemeut at Salt Lake. The daughters still remain with the Indians. Their ages are seventeen and nineteen. Lee mado his escape in the following manner: Ho was accompanying the Chief of tho" Ca-manches to a lodge somo miles distant. Du ring tho tramp they met a party of Indians; the Iudians gave the chief a skin filled with liquor. The Chief drank of tho spiritsand he-came excited. Arriving at a creek he dis mounted and stooped down to drink. At this moment L?o seized his tomahawk, split his hoad open and killed him instantly. IIo then took the ChiePs rifle, mounted tho Chiefs horse and put for. Mexico. Whon lie reached Mexico he was completely naked, while his feet and legs wore so swollen from being cut by tho cactus plant, that ho could only go 3ome eight miles a day, I ho last hundred miles he went on foot, his horse having died from oxhaustion. The Mexicans treatod him very kindly, and gavo him money and clothing to reach homo. Tho clotfccs ho now wears in Albany are those given to him by tho Mexican s. Besjamik Fhankldj, princo of American philosophers, a name associated with the lightnings of Heaven, ono of tho pillars in tho temple of our patriotic fathers,with his mas-tor hand drew up the following memorial: To the Senate ani Ilouse of Representatives of the United States: From a persuasion that equal liberty was originally tho portiqn, and is still the birth right of all men, and influenced by tho strong ties of humanity and the principles of their institutions, your racmoralists conceive themselves bound to usoall justifica- blo endeavors to loosen tho bands of slavery, and promote a general enjoyncntof freedom. Under theso impressions, they, earnestly on- treat your serious attention to the subject of slavery; that you will be pleased to countenance tho restoration of liberty to those un-hapy men, who alone, in this land of freedom, aro degraded into perpetual bondage, and who amidst the general jny of surrounding freemen aro groaning in sorvilo subjection that you will provide means to move this inconsistency from the character of tho American people that you will promote mercy and justice toward this distressed raco that you will step to tho very verge of the power vested in you for discouraging every specios of traffic in tho persons of our fellow men.

For tho Republican. . Methodist Prolesfant Convention. Mn. EniTon: Tho Methodist Protcslani Church has been greatly agitated with the subject of Slavery for moro than 20 years past, which has resulted in final separation between tho slavo-holding and tho non-slave -holding conferences of this Church, A Convention of Representatives embracing nn equal number of ministers and laymen lrom tho annual conferences within tho Freo States, met at tho City of Springfield, Ohio, on the 10th inst., to deliberate and take action upon the various interests to which this agitation has given rise, Bomo further accounts of whi:h I will furnish you hereafter. But in this con-noction you aro respectfully requested to insert tho following letter from tho late Rov. A. Shinn, known as a leading minister in the M. P. C, and ono of tho most intelligent Methodist ministers of his day. This letter was written in 1838 twenty years ago when tho Slavery party first began their work 0' trammeling the church press, and threatening tho dissolution of both church and State, if the subject of Slavery was not quietly let alone. How fully Mr. Shinn described, at the date of his writing, tho state of things which now exists, your readers will readily perceivO' Yours Truly, GEO. CLANCY. Mount Vernon, Nov. 23d, 1858. The following is the essential part of the articlo referred to. It was publishod in tho Pittsburg "Christian Witness" June 13, 1858. immediately after tho General Conforenco of the M. P. Church held in Pittsburg that year, on which occasion an exciting debate on tho subject of Slavery had taken place. Ed'r Rep. : The favorite object of the South was "an indefinite postponement" of the whole subject, that the discussion might be prevented in the General Conference, and if possible bo forbidden in all the inforior judicatories of this church. This was effect ually defeated, as a matter not less inexpedient, than it was un just, and destructive to all civil and religious liberty. . 1 . . As usual tho alarm was highly sounded, concerning a dissolution of tho Union. This is the great and mighty argument, employed in church and state; and it implies that $la-very is the bond of union, through all political and ecclesiastical society. ; You must give up tho liberty of.spooch and of the press, on the subject of slavery, to perpetuate tho Union. .That is, in plain English, you must consent to be slaves at the North, as well as the nogrocs of the South, otherwise . the Union cannot bo preserved. and pray what is the Union good fur, if this is to be its iron' bond? In this view of the matter, it is a mere connection of power with injustice, of assumsd authority with wrong, of sovereign aristocracy with sorvilo bondageWe at the North take our stand on tho Constitution of the United States, and maintain that ltdeety is the bond or unio to this nation; whilo ouropponents insist tint slave-rt is tho only bond. It is thcreforo, clear as the light of day that tho whole controversy now going on, is between liberty and plave- bv, in their application to the wholo United States. Ona of two things must bo the final and inevitable result: Either the North must be enslaved, or the negroes of the South must beset free. There is no' neutral ground to occupy; every man In the nation most take his stand either on the sido of i.tnKrtTY or on the sido of slavery; and it is presumed the day is not far distant, when all the distinctions of party on this subject will be unnoticed and unknown, Slavery or no Slavery will be tho single indivisible test of every party and every man, from Maine to Georgia, and from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains, Are our Northern patriots, both in church and State, willing to bend their hecks to tho yoke, lor the sake of preserving the Union? Are they willing to give up tho liberty of speech and of the press, and silently tocon-sent their children should be yoked in with negroes to' serve a southorn master, after their own heads shall have boon laid in tho grave? Let them opon their eyes and sec let them look at the Declaration of Independence and understand that to mtinlain (he liberty of thit nation ii tiuoily vay to present the integrity of iU Union; and let them blush at the apathy and cowardice which would surrender the froc-born inheritance of American citizens, for the sake of being in league with the vilost system of dtpotio power that over saw tho sun. ' Abolitionists! art highly censured in all directions, because it is said they are laboring to destroy tho Union, Now the sum total of the argument on which this allegation rests.is the following: Southern piliticitns . threaten that unless the people of the North ctiscontin-uo their speeches and publications on tho sub ject of slavery, they will dissolve' tha Union; but abolitionists will not give up this liberty; thcrcfjroi't follows thalaboliliontsts aro labor ing to destroy the Union.' 'That (s. Ihcy are doing so by refusing' to relinquish-American liberty, at tho bid.ling of self-made Sovereigns of tho South, who are trying by threats and intimidations to pTevail on them unwillingly to consent to a slate of slavery for thcmstlvcs. These sovereigns rcquinS that eivil and religious libjrty be given up and7 despotic power bo spread all over tho North, as tho pricfe 0! the "glorious Union;" while tho civilized universe is annaei to see so many sons of the pilgrims yield to the dastardly, servility, and, practically to say do lot us give up1 our Declaration of Independence, ami rclinqiish the essential liberty secured in tho Constitution for fear our southern brethren should be provoked to disio'vo tho Union, nnd bs thereby forever deprived of their fatherly protection!' The boast of tho South on this subject, is liko "a puff of empty air;" they have no inten. tiop (0 dissolvo tho Union; they only intondi as in bygone days, to intimidate a slumbering community, by threats and bravado, that they may prevail on them to surrender tho essential principles of their civil constitution. And unless tho people gonorally wake up.those encroachments will go on till an iron-headed despotism will be cxiondod all over this Northern region, from Mason and Dixon's lino to tho whole extent of tho lakes and Canada, including all tho original North Woitcrn Territory.Tho above may appear like bold statements and in one sonso they aro so; but they havo boon well weighed, and tho grounds of them carefully examincdT They aro not tho result of passion, nor of hasty imagination. Tho signs of the times are portentuous, and will becomo moro so. The day is opproaching when every man will find that he cannot occupy neutral ground; and it is better to take a deliberate and firm stand beforo the full power of tho storm has approached , than to bo hurried to a decision, at a time when the advocates of truth and liberty may peradven-turo find themselves driven into dungeons, or caves and into dons ol tho earth. Tho liberty of tho world and tho happiness of the human raco, are at stake. At such time, and in such a contest, indecision would be an imbecility, and cowardice would be a crime. Almighty Cod is on tho side of lightecns freedom, and Uo knoweth them that put their trust in Him. In full view, theiefoie(of the nation, I deem an avowal of theso sentiments as perfectly consistent with prudence, as such an avowal is with principlo, truth, virtue,and moral obligation. Tho American- nation, at the present day, exhibits a spectacle that is without a parallel in the civilized world. On every 4th of July, wo shout around our Declaration oflndo- pendence; as a monument of honor and glofy of our fathers, and as proclaiming us peculiar ly a free people, whose liberty is founded on a paercd regard to the universal rights of man; while in tho interval from ono Fourth of July to another, lo! if a man bhall quote from this samo Declaration of Independence, in support of tho righteous liberty, which it inculcates, he is not quite sure that ho is doing it at the hazard ol his life ! ' Our. denunciation of tyrants and aristocrats is loud and vehement; and yet wo warmly and "pas- sionatoly protect in our own bosom the most tyrannical system of aristocracy lobo found anywhen upon the face o( the earth! fie- publicans assembling themselves together in mobs, to punish their lellow men for sustaining tho liberty of law! Democrats pursuing their fellow citizens with threatening and slaughter, fordaring to oppose a wido spread system of irresponsible monarchy. 0, ye dry bones, hear the word of tho Lord. "0, Assy-, rians," ho says, "tho rod of mino anger, and the staff in their band is mine i ndignalion.

In ths year 1819, a young man, who was rich, and engngod in a lucrative business in Cincinnati, became enamored of a beautiful and amiable girl 'the daughter by tho way, of wealthy paronts and, after a brief courtship, married her, IIo loved her dearly. Site loved him deaily. A fortuno of happiness seemed in store for them; but evil daysiame, and after brief but violent struggle with fortune tho young man became bankrupt. He was left without a dollar, but not without a hope. The gold mines of California were open to the adventurous and to the industrious. He would leave his beautiful wile and seek its glittering shores, where he Would rotnain until his fullon fortunes wcro revived. The resolution once taken was soon exocutcd. He came to California but the cloud still hung over him. He was active, enterprising and persevering; yet while others around him were gathering the golden harvest in abundance, his every project failed. For eight years he con'inued thus. He became sick, weary and disheartened, but Lis pride would not allow him to write home for assm-tanao. Ho was at last reduced to sell newspapers upon tho street for a living. A few weeks ago ho was at Folsom street wharf, upon the arrival of tho mail atoamer, and among the passengers who came ashore, he caught a glimpse of a richly dressed lady whom ho thought he knew. He followed her to a hotel, got a fair view, and recognized her as his wife whom he had not seen for eight years. Ho was poorly dressed, but his affection conquered his prido, and ho immediately made himself known to hoi. The recognition was followed by a beautiful exhibition of unabated and unfaltering love. The lady's parents had died, leaving her an hcir- essof great wealth. She, had not beard of her husband for eight years, and, fearing for his safety, she resolved to visit this State and make inquiries for herself. The lady closed her conversation with her husband by putting her arms about his neck, and saying, 'Kow, dear George, we can go homo and be happy as we used to be." They did go home on tho steamer wlueli left here last Monday. This story is strictly true. Clioi nia Spirit of the Times. ' What a Fin can do, Some time ago an argument was started against the great Leviathan, now being finish ed at the London docks, that it would bo useless as a carrier of freight, on account of the enormous tonnage she would require, which could not be ga thcred in any port in timo to render her voyage regularand frequent., This set an English mathematician to work to show what a pin could do in the , way of freight. Ho made known the result of his cal culation, which proved that by dropping ono pin in the Leviathan to-day, two to-morrow, four next day. and 0 on for ono year, the aggregate would sink that monster to the hot. torn of the ocean. Mr. A. Brenomon, of Lancaster, Fa., seeing tho statement, took pains to work it out, and the following is the result of his labor: Allowing 200 pins to tho ounce, 1 pin the first day, 2 the second, 4 tho third, and so on doubling for 3G5 days, or one year, would give 876,970,507,370,400 pins which, at 200 per ounce, would amount to 4.364,832,- 836, 852 ounces, or 274,053,302,203 pounds and 4 ounces; and allowing 2,000 lb?, to the ton, would 137,62G,651 tons, 303 lbs. and 4 ounces. Only think tho onormons weight from the pin! Enough to sink not only the great Leviathan, but the whole British Navy. It is a neat little question for boys to look at and calculate ho wmuch they would bo worth, suppose they save in forty years, by laying up one penny the first week, two the second, four tho third, and so on. It is calculated to instruct them in how great fortunes are mado- So says an exchange. Difference in Wives. Two weekssinco we wero riding in IhocarSi when a gentleman came and spoko to a lady directly in front of us, who was seated beside a sickly man, whom we tho't was her husband. The conversation turned upon the health of her companion who was evidently a consumptive. . ' "Last winter," said she, "I went to Kansas with him. The winter before we spent in Florida; and now we are thinking of removing to Wisconsin or Minnesota, for the benefit ol his health." The gentleman oppressed some thoughts relative to her hardships in thus going away from hor home and friends, and traveling so much abroad. , ' ' - "Oh," she replied, "I do not mind that at all; if he can only regain his hcaltn. I like New England better than any other part of the country, lor it is home; but I am willing to live acywhero for his sake." . . Her husband made no reply as he hoard these words, but volumes were in his eyes. The incident, however, did not particularly impress us, until wo stopped at a station about a half hour afterwards. Then a friend entered the car and took a seat by our Bide. Ho was troubled witha bronchial and lung difficulty, of some years standing. In the course of conversation wo recommended a residenco in acortain western State, to which ho replied, in substnnce:. '-I should have been thero three months ago, if my wife had been willing to go. But all her friends are in Ibis State, and no consideration could induce her to leave for a residence so far away." We looked at onco to the strange woman, whose conversation we citod. "Noble wife," we raid; "One of a thousand, doubtless in this spirit of self-denial (or her husband's sake." There is certainly a great Uiuerer.ee between those two wives, From the Albany Knickerbocker Nov. 13th. An Albanian with the Camanches-IIis Captnre, Detention and Escape. We montioncd yesterday that Nelson cc, who was taken by the Camanche Indians in lfi50,reachod Albany on Thursday. In Marcln 1850, Mr Leo started from Texas for California with a drcvo of mules. Mr. Leo was accompanied by twenty-seven white men. About threo hundred miles from Englo Pass, on tho 2nd of April; 1850, tho little party from Texas was attacked by twohundred and fifty Camancho Indians. This Battle lasted for some two hours, and resulted in tho victory of tho Indians. Of tho 28 whito men 24 wero killed during the engagement. The other four wero takeri prisioners and carried to the camp of tho Camanchcs, Tho names of tho four prisioners wero William Aiken, of Now Orleans; Thomas Smith, of West Tennessee; James Howard, of Patrichio, Texas; and Nelson Leo, now in Albany, and formally of Jefferson county1, Two of the prisonors Smith and Howard were massacred tho day altor the battle, Aiken remained in the camp some six days, and was then carried off by Indians. What has become of hiin no one knows. . Ho has probably been killed during some war danojs. Lee's life was spared bo-causo the Indians could not manago aropcat-ing-walch which he carried. The watch saved his life. -,.. In the Camachc camp Mr. Lee found no less than 28 captured whito women and some 30 or 40 white children. A day or two after he arrived in camp they massacred an English woman, named Ann Haskin.in a most cruol manner. They tied her naked to tho tree, and in the presence of her two daughters, Margaret and Harriet Haskin, inflicted tho most uvolting cruelties upon her. Before Mrs. Haskin was finally dispatched, she was tortured for nearly half a day, during which timo tho Indians becamo excited with liquor and danced about her like so many demons. They took sharp pieces of flint and cut her flesh in all possible directions, Mrs. Haskin and her daughters were captured while on their way to tho Mormon settlemeut at Salt Lake. The daughters still remain with the Indians. Their ages are seventeen and nineteen. Lee mado his escape in the following manner: Ho was accompanying the Chief of tho" Ca-manches to a lodge somo miles distant. Du ring tho tramp they met a party of Indians; the Iudians gave the chief a skin filled with liquor. The Chief drank of tho spiritsand he-came excited. Arriving at a creek he dis mounted and stooped down to drink. At this moment L?o seized his tomahawk, split his hoad open and killed him instantly. IIo then took the ChiePs rifle, mounted tho Chiefs horse and put for. Mexico. Whon lie reached Mexico he was completely naked, while his feet and legs wore so swollen from being cut by tho cactus plant, that ho could only go 3ome eight miles a day, I ho last hundred miles he went on foot, his horse having died from oxhaustion. The Mexicans treatod him very kindly, and gavo him money and clothing to reach homo. Tho clotfccs ho now wears in Albany are those given to him by tho Mexican s. Besjamik Fhankldj, princo of American philosophers, a name associated with the lightnings of Heaven, ono of tho pillars in tho temple of our patriotic fathers,with his mas-tor hand drew up the following memorial: To the Senate ani Ilouse of Representatives of the United States: From a persuasion that equal liberty was originally tho portiqn, and is still the birth right of all men, and influenced by tho strong ties of humanity and the principles of their institutions, your racmoralists conceive themselves bound to usoall justifica- blo endeavors to loosen tho bands of slavery, and promote a general enjoyncntof freedom. Under theso impressions, they, earnestly on- treat your serious attention to the subject of slavery; that you will be pleased to countenance tho restoration of liberty to those un-hapy men, who alone, in this land of freedom, aro degraded into perpetual bondage, and who amidst the general jny of surrounding freemen aro groaning in sorvilo subjection that you will provide means to move this inconsistency from the character of tho American people that you will promote mercy and justice toward this distressed raco that you will step to tho very verge of the power vested in you for discouraging every specios of traffic in tho persons of our fellow men.

For tho Republican. . Methodist Prolesfant Convention. Mn. EniTon: Tho Methodist Protcslani Church has been greatly agitated with the subject of Slavery for moro than 20 years past, which has resulted in final separation between tho slavo-holding and tho non-slave -holding conferences of this Church, A Convention of Representatives embracing nn equal number of ministers and laymen lrom tho annual conferences within tho Freo States, met at tho City of Springfield, Ohio, on the 10th inst., to deliberate and take action upon the various interests to which this agitation has given rise, Bomo further accounts of whi:h I will furnish you hereafter. But in this con-noction you aro respectfully requested to insert tho following letter from tho late Rov. A. Shinn, known as a leading minister in the M. P. C, and ono of tho most intelligent Methodist ministers of his day. This letter was written in 1838 twenty years ago when tho Slavery party first began their work 0' trammeling the church press, and threatening tho dissolution of both church and State, if the subject of Slavery was not quietly let alone. How fully Mr. Shinn described, at the date of his writing, tho state of things which now exists, your readers will readily perceivO' Yours Truly, GEO. CLANCY. Mount Vernon, Nov. 23d, 1858. The following is the essential part of the articlo referred to. It was publishod in tho Pittsburg "Christian Witness" June 13, 1858. immediately after tho General Conforenco of the M. P. Church held in Pittsburg that year, on which occasion an exciting debate on tho subject of Slavery had taken place. Ed'r Rep. : The favorite object of the South was "an indefinite postponement" of the whole subject, that the discussion might be prevented in the General Conference, and if possible bo forbidden in all the inforior judicatories of this church. This was effect ually defeated, as a matter not less inexpedient, than it was un just, and destructive to all civil and religious liberty. . 1 . . As usual tho alarm was highly sounded, concerning a dissolution of tho Union. This is the great and mighty argument, employed in church and state; and it implies that $la-very is the bond of union, through all political and ecclesiastical society. ; You must give up tho liberty of.spooch and of the press, on the subject of slavery, to perpetuate tho Union. .That is, in plain English, you must consent to be slaves at the North, as well as the nogrocs of the South, otherwise . the Union cannot bo preserved. and pray what is the Union good fur, if this is to be its iron' bond? In this view of the matter, it is a mere connection of power with injustice, of assumsd authority with wrong, of sovereign aristocracy with sorvilo bondageWe at the North take our stand on tho Constitution of the United States, and maintain that ltdeety is the bond or unio to this nation; whilo ouropponents insist tint slave-rt is tho only bond. It is thcreforo, clear as the light of day that tho whole controversy now going on, is between liberty and plave- bv, in their application to the wholo United States. Ona of two things must bo the final and inevitable result: Either the North must be enslaved, or the negroes of the South must beset free. There is no' neutral ground to occupy; every man In the nation most take his stand either on the sido of i.tnKrtTY or on the sido of slavery; and it is presumed the day is not far distant, when all the distinctions of party on this subject will be unnoticed and unknown, Slavery or no Slavery will be tho single indivisible test of every party and every man, from Maine to Georgia, and from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains, Are our Northern patriots, both in church and State, willing to bend their hecks to tho yoke, lor the sake of preserving the Union? Are they willing to give up tho liberty of speech and of the press, and silently tocon-sent their children should be yoked in with negroes to' serve a southorn master, after their own heads shall have boon laid in tho grave? Let them opon their eyes and sec let them look at the Declaration of Independence and understand that to mtinlain (he liberty of thit nation ii tiuoily vay to present the integrity of iU Union; and let them blush at the apathy and cowardice which would surrender the froc-born inheritance of American citizens, for the sake of being in league with the vilost system of dtpotio power that over saw tho sun. ' Abolitionists! art highly censured in all directions, because it is said they are laboring to destroy tho Union, Now the sum total of the argument on which this allegation rests.is the following: Southern piliticitns . threaten that unless the people of the North ctiscontin-uo their speeches and publications on tho sub ject of slavery, they will dissolve' tha Union; but abolitionists will not give up this liberty; thcrcfjroi't follows thalaboliliontsts aro labor ing to destroy the Union.' 'That (s. Ihcy are doing so by refusing' to relinquish-American liberty, at tho bid.ling of self-made Sovereigns of tho South, who are trying by threats and intimidations to pTevail on them unwillingly to consent to a slate of slavery for thcmstlvcs. These sovereigns rcquinS that eivil and religious libjrty be given up and7 despotic power bo spread all over tho North, as tho pricfe 0! the "glorious Union;" while tho civilized universe is annaei to see so many sons of the pilgrims yield to the dastardly, servility, and, practically to say do lot us give up1 our Declaration of Independence, ami rclinqiish the essential liberty secured in tho Constitution for fear our southern brethren should be provoked to disio'vo tho Union, nnd bs thereby forever deprived of their fatherly protection!' The boast of tho South on this subject, is liko "a puff of empty air;" they have no inten. tiop (0 dissolvo tho Union; they only intondi as in bygone days, to intimidate a slumbering community, by threats and bravado, that they may prevail on them to surrender tho essential principles of their civil constitution. And unless tho people gonorally wake up.those encroachments will go on till an iron-headed despotism will be cxiondod all over this Northern region, from Mason and Dixon's lino to tho whole extent of tho lakes and Canada, including all tho original North Woitcrn Territory.Tho above may appear like bold statements and in one sonso they aro so; but they havo boon well weighed, and tho grounds of them carefully examincdT They aro not tho result of passion, nor of hasty imagination. Tho signs of the times are portentuous, and will becomo moro so. The day is opproaching when every man will find that he cannot occupy neutral ground; and it is better to take a deliberate and firm stand beforo the full power of tho storm has approached , than to bo hurried to a decision, at a time when the advocates of truth and liberty may peradven-turo find themselves driven into dungeons, or caves and into dons ol tho earth. Tho liberty of tho world and tho happiness of the human raco, are at stake. At such time, and in such a contest, indecision would be an imbecility, and cowardice would be a crime. Almighty Cod is on tho side of lightecns freedom, and Uo knoweth them that put their trust in Him. In full view, theiefoie(of the nation, I deem an avowal of theso sentiments as perfectly consistent with prudence, as such an avowal is with principlo, truth, virtue,and moral obligation. Tho American- nation, at the present day, exhibits a spectacle that is without a parallel in the civilized world. On every 4th of July, wo shout around our Declaration oflndo- pendence; as a monument of honor and glofy of our fathers, and as proclaiming us peculiar ly a free people, whose liberty is founded on a paercd regard to the universal rights of man; while in tho interval from ono Fourth of July to another, lo! if a man bhall quote from this samo Declaration of Independence, in support of tho righteous liberty, which it inculcates, he is not quite sure that ho is doing it at the hazard ol his life ! ' Our. denunciation of tyrants and aristocrats is loud and vehement; and yet wo warmly and "pas- sionatoly protect in our own bosom the most tyrannical system of aristocracy lobo found anywhen upon the face o( the earth! fie- publicans assembling themselves together in mobs, to punish their lellow men for sustaining tho liberty of law! Democrats pursuing their fellow citizens with threatening and slaughter, fordaring to oppose a wido spread system of irresponsible monarchy. 0, ye dry bones, hear the word of tho Lord. "0, Assy-, rians," ho says, "tho rod of mino anger, and the staff in their band is mine i ndignalion. I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against tho people or my wrath will I givo him a charge." (Isaiah, 10: 5, G.) "Shall I not visit for theso things? saith tho Lord; and shall not my soul be avengod 0:1 such a nation at this?" (Jer. 6:9,.) . "Theso things hast thou dono. and I kept silenco: thou thoughtost that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. Now consider this, yo that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and thero be none to deliver." (Pa. 50: 21.) '' Atheist may sprtrn such" quotations from them with ineffable contempt; but a hypocritical nation will find its Atheism as a spider's web, whon tho Lord shall arise to shake terribly the earth; and those good jracn who aro inadvertently sustaining the worst of causes would do well to roalizo their obligation to cxerciso candor upon this subject, for,, l' they directly associate thomsclvcs with the slaveholding combination, a voice may bo heard from Heaven sooner than they anticipate, saying, J'Oome out of her,- my people, that yo be not partakers of her sins, and that ye rcceivo not of her plague."
